Which #SanitarySuperhero are you? Take Action Aid’s quiz to find out!

posted July 19, 2017 by Team betty

Not that we’re mad into maths or anything, but our lovely friends at Action Aid have come up with pretty much the best equation ever to exist: girl + sanitary towel = superhero.

With many girls around the world (and some even in the UK) missing school because they can’t afford or don’t have access to pads or tampons, the international charity are on a mission to raise awareness and help these young women in need.

Because if you’re armed with period supplies you can stay in school, learn, grow, become empowered and totally kickass – your period should never stand in the way, right?

To find out which badass sanitary superhero you are, take Action Aid’s quiz below!

You’re buying sanitary towels or tampons, and notice a friend/colleague/neighbour at the till as you go to pay. Are you embarrassed?

No way! I’m proud to be on my period

A bit, yes. But periods are a natural part of life — why should I be embarrassed?

Soooo embarrassing. But I hate that there are still taboos around periods — it’s 2017!

Everyone has a period horror story. Which of these scenarios does yours involve?

Bleeding on a pair of light-coloured trousers/skirt and having to hide the stain under a jumper

Terrible cramps meaning you had to miss something really important at work or school.

Your first period starting before you’ve had ‘the talk’, so you think you might be dying

Have you ever run out of sanitary towels/tampons and had to improvise?

Yes — hasn’t everyone?

No, I’ve always asked someone else if I could take one of theirs.

No — I’ve always got spares. I’m the one other people turn to when they’ve run out!

Euphemisms for periods exist around the world. Which of these euphemisms would you use to describe your period?

Surfing the crimson wave!

Code red

I never use euphemisms — I just call it my period!

How do you feel when you’re on your period?

Don’t mess with me. I can take on anything and no one will get in my way

Proud — my body is awesome

Terrible, frankly. The cramps, the blood — what’s to enjoy?
